Lakers scout Chaz Osborne no longer with team

Lakers scout Chaz Osborne no longer works with the team, with what a Lakers spokesperson said is “part of the reorganization of basketball operations.” The Lakers parted ways with Osborne earlier last month shortly after the 2016-17 season ended. Osborne was known to be close with former Lakers executive vice president of basketball operations Jim Buss, who was fired on February by his sister, Lakers governor Jeanie Buss.

After replacing her brother with Magic Johnson as the president of basketball operations, Jeanie Buss then hired Rob Pelinka as in place of longtime general manager Mitch Kupchak. Since their hiring, Johnson and Pelinka have said they would evaluate everyone working with the Lakers franchise.

Since then, former assistant general manager Glenn Carraro and strength and conditioning coach Tim DiFrancesco resigned from their respective positions. Meanwhile, the Lakers parted ways with numerous people, including former player director of player development Rondre Jackson, coordinator of basketball operations Tania Jolly and assistant strength and conditioning coach Sean Light.
